I found this baby ferret in my backyard today. I’ve been feeding it cat food and I’m planning on putting up flyers to find the owner. I am not sure if the ferret is okay, its been sleeping and being very lazy mostly, and then it will eat quickly and go to the bathroom and sleep again. Is this normal?
What is another good thing to feed it? It seems to love the cat food I gave it and a little bit of peanut butter which it ate as well.
Thanks. – Claude

Claude, please stop feeding it with peanut butter. The salt in the peanut butter will kill it. Besides the cat food, although kitten food is better, there is more protein in it, u can give it mashed bananas. If u r feeding the baby ferret kitten food there is no need to feed it raw meat. Vets will tell u that raw meat will cause cancer of the pancreas and cause blockage of the intestines and colon. Ferrets love dried fruit like banana chips or fresh bananas just make sure to mash it very well. They will also eat things that are harmful to them like salt on chips or peanut butter. These things will cause them to dehydrate very quickly and will lead to death. I hope this helps. Good luck.
